Detail Two of The Orange Acrobat - Front View; 2021; colored pencils, graphite pencils, charcoal pencils and pastels. Seconds labels are placed horizontally across the top portion of the drawing. The juxtaposition of the letters in the seconds labels indicate the level of activity taking place in the depiction of the positions of the butterfly enclosure process. The letters in the seconds label become more scrambled as activity of the butterfly increases and it comes closer to falling out its chrysalis. The numbers representing time of day above the seconds labels in this detail are also scrambled as the butterfly emerges completely at that hour.
